Lenovo ThinkCentre M57 6075 - Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4 GHz

Advantages: real fast, does more in less time, econimic and much more
Disadvantages: absolutely nothing

...The new Q6600 from Intel is fantastic, its real fast, it does things in less time. I own this processor and I only have good things to say about it its really good, and a fantastic price you can get from £170 only thats the best processor for this price. Ah one advice as it is four cores it is highly recomended that you use water cooled systems, but you don't need to worry too much, if you have a high end air cooler and your case has a good ventilation that should be fine at least my one is and only consume about 110w which makes it not heat that much as the others processors mainly AMD processors. Thats it The Best Processor ever from Intel at this price. Special features • Enhanced Halt State (C1E) • Enhanced Intel Speedstep® Technology • Execute Disable Bit 1 • Intel® EM64T 2 • Intel® Thermal Monitor 2... Read review

Advantages: handle multiple tasks at same time and doesnt slow pc.
Disadvantages: potentially waste of money

...the latest processor from intel, the new intel core 2 quad is the most powerful processor available for the average home pc. The 2.4GHz processor is more than enough for everyday tasks on your pc. This is perfect if you do hardcore gaming, video editing etc or both! The four cores allow you to simultaneously do alot of tasks on the pc and it will not slow down your pc. As more and more software for pc's need a lot of processing power, this processor is the most up to date and the most powerful as yet. The downside to getting this would be that as computing power of computers are increasing faster and faster with respect to time, the quad core processor will no doubt be yesterdays news within a few months as intel have plans to release an octa-core processor which will then outdate this one....

Advantages: Intel reliability, great with multicore games!
Disadvantages: Not all applications can take advantage of all cores yet, but still runs great!

...Well first of all the package is semi decent, it can be a little annoying if your trying to open it in a rush! The chip is placed just under some plastic packaging at the top a little bad perhaps as the sun/heat/sharp point could get to it and damage the chips surface. Anyway after finally opening the CPU I got onto inserting my Intel Core 2 Quad core Q6600 2.4Ghz processor into my computer. I wasn't to impressed to begin with during the boot but I guess that's to be expected as the CPU is used very little then. But when windows had booted up the speed of running programs was amazing. The best improvement I have noticed is in the running of games it's amazing you can just keep on turning up the settings and it just runs on full. Providing you have a semi decent graphics card that is. (Nvidia 8800 GTS 640mb here).... Read review
